McGregor and Boorman complete Long Way Down

Movie stars make it through another epic adventure

Tweet
Posted: 8 August 2007
by Visordown News

EWAN McGregor and Charley Boorman have completed their epic motorcycling trek from Scotland to South Africa.

The duo, who completed Long Way Round in 2004, arrived in Cape Town after travelling over 15,000 miles on the BMWs.

Their adventure will be broadcast on BBC2 this year and will feature snapshots of the amazing scenes they encountered, from Ethiopia to Sudan.

The duo are planning a Long Way Up trip for 2009.

I'm looking forward to seeing this, although I can't help but think the novelty may have worn off a little bit. It's like... Jaws 1 was brilliant but Jaws 2 was a bit poo and neither featured motorbikes or light sabres. Get my drift?
